it is necessary to turn on the flashlight while scanning barcodes in X
now such a flashlight function is not available in the editor, and the smartphone automatically blocks the flashlight when the scanner is turned on, even if it is turned on from the device in advance

I do not understand how to do this, since I do not have sufficient knowledge for this. It would be great if the constructor had a separate component dedicated to the smartphone flashlight
